We will not be seeing many pictures from Mars for the next 3 weeks because they are UPGRADING THE COMPUTERS? HUH!

NASA said the structure everyone saw on the horizen of Mars was an (IMPACT CLOUD). So now we know. It is gone now.

Well I heard the Rover landed safely. I not only want to see the face on Mars but also the Pyramid shapes. It is just like SETI sending messages out into space when we have UFO's buzzing up our noses and they don't investigate those? The aliens must think we are stupid. Well we are. Hi Virginia, I was a little surprised that this conversation included mention of the safe landing of the rover, but...goodness gracious! The complexity of every stage of that landing was INCREDIBLE. Release from the ship that brought her, eject heat shield after passing through atmosphere at tens of thousnads of MPH, deploy a chute to slow down, eject the chute and fire sky crane rockets to slow down more, hover the skycrane and lower the rover on a set of cables, detach the rover safely on the ground, sky crane jets off to crash uprange away from rover. WOW. Isn't it difficult to believe such a series of commands could be carried out without a human pilot? Every action was programmed before liftoff from Earth. I am floored at the accomplishment of landing the thing without impacting a mountain or something. Just sayin'.

I am not saying the feat wasn't the most complex thing we have ever seen. To go all the way to Mars and land only one mile from destination was meraculous. What I am saying is that they hyped this to be a search for life on Mars. What they needed to tell us it would only be a scientific exploration. No pictures of faces or pyramids or a close up of the 2 statues the one with the lady with her stretched out arm and the other where a person is kneeling.These were pictures that the rover Spirit took. You would think they would want to take closer pictures. But Curiousity will be there for 2 years. I guess I need to be patient.Maybe I will see what I want to see.

NASA has said my lady with the outstretched arm is a rock 2 inches tall. Do I believe it---NO.

NASA said the computer up grade was because the computer only had capacity for the information for the landing, therefore, after the landing they needed to send the info for the research. So I believe their explanation.
India is sending a satelite up to circle Mars in 2013. So it looks as thou everyone wants to OWN Mars.

Reread the post by ElfLord - the number of lines of code required for this type of landing had to be staggering. Besides, if the landing didn't go well - they wouldn't need all that additional programming.

In the next week the rover is going to start to travel. I google (Curiosity Pictures) each day and I find them interesting even thou they don't show too much right now. The rover will climb part way up the Mountain Sharp as it's first mission.

Have you always been a space program watcher?
Or, has your belief in UFOs always been your motive?

I have always been interested in stars and space. At one point back many years---probably in the 1970 I thought about buying a telescope but did nothave the money. I watch the history channel, the science channel. and only recently became interested in Ancient Aliens because of the tv series that is going on. I never realized there is so much recorded history about UFO's until this last year. In the late 1960's I did read a few books on UFO's but did not dwell on them after. I am fascinated now on UFO's and where they fit in the plan as are many other people. I watch a show called the UNIVERSE about how stars are formed and other fascinating stuff.

They should better explain their own photos so we know distance, time of day, etc. We're not complete idiots even without degrees in rocket science. They should provide scale so we can draw our own conclusions about what we are looking at in a photo. Oh well, it's just a matter of time before NASA goes more commercial. Then maybe more public mysteries will be investigated to generate more support for the space program. Well, it could happen...

OK today is Friday and I google Curiosity Pictures Mars====and guess what---you will not believe this but there are 2 UFO's in one of the pictures. In the past NASA has said these are WEATHER BALLOONS. WEATHER BALLOONS ON MARS? Who sent them up?When will the Powers That Be stop identifying every sighting as a WEATHER BALLOON? They could fool us once but not the second time. When the high resolution pictures come out they will have air brushed out this sighting of the 2 UFO's.I ask you'al to google Mars pictures to see for yourself that I am not making this stuff up.

I do not believe the object of Curiosity Mars Rover is looking for evidence of life because we have already had how many Rovers there taking samples of rocks looking for evidence of life and water. I think the real mission is to look for precious metals. gold, platinum group, palladium, and especially aluminum, maybe even kriptinite,uranium and silver. These are what we looked for on the MOON with the idea we could mine this stuff but the Aliens said HELL NO.

You should have posted that picture. It would have been great to see.
Nasa already knows there is life out there. Maybe why we keep sending BILLION dollar mission to these planets is just to drive up the debt. That is the goal of the world elite. Bankrupt the planet. So, that in the following chaos they can take control.
Everyone talks about the up coming financial collaps. A few more years of this warming trend and there really will be a large food shortage. Add to that a major earthquake or two, with tsnaumi and possibly even a volcaino or two
Our global society would be changed forever.

I would have posted the picture but I do not know how to do it. David said he would help me when I am ready. I only know how to do a couple things. The picture is posted today so you can google it under CURIOUSITY MARS PICTURES.
